Meanwhile Elon Musk keeps cluttering space with scores of new Starlink satellites ......................

That's great but uh, it needs to be dealt with. It's not going to decay into soil and even if it did, it will be traveling thousands of kilometers per second.

Yeah that looks safe

I've seen this movie before, with Sandra Bullock and Dick Clooney (aka George). Of course the film is Sci-Fi, but isn't a far stretch from reality.
Yes, there is absolutely too much junk in orbit, some of which reenters and most of which burns up on reentry, but in-orbit collisions are becoming increasingly more likely.

@desert tortoise don't forget get all of the other countries sending up satellites in to orbit

For an object that’s well on the pay to approaching the speed of light, they’ve done an exceedingly good job of making it appear stationary.

If it falls, it will burn up.
If it doesn't burn up completely, it will land in the ocean.
If it doesn't land in the ocean, it will land somewhere uninhabited.
If it lands somewhere inhabited, it won't hit anyone.
If it hits someone, the people who sent it up there won't take responsibility.
If there is valuable materials in the wreck tho, government peeps will be there to "save the public from harm".
